very strongly inbred to both imported
Messenger and Diomed, two animals
which have accomplished more in the
way of improving the speed of American
horse stock than all the other horses that
have ever been imported into this coun-
try. The trotters above mentioned are
only few of the long list of speedy ami
mails that have been produced by judi
cious inbreeding. Among those not al
ready mentioned is Guy Wilkes, 2:154,
undoubtedly the fastest trotting stallion
living Hills dam was by Mambrno

Several of the prominent trotting Sire
have resulted from such line of inbred
ing as suggested by Stonehenge, viz, b.
alternating inbreeding with out-crossing
using care to know that the animals use
possess the desired qualities in stron,

Going back to the fountain-head and fol
lowing the line down, it will be foun
that imported Messenger was bred to
daughter of imported Sour Crout, an
produced Mambrino. A son of importe
Messenger was bred to some unknow
mare, kand the result was Amazonia
Then Mambrino was bred to Amazona

senger, and the produce was Abdallah

not so pleasant an animal upon the roa
